THE WORLD OF THE ARCHONS

Lyrics

[Verse 1] We were born beneath a borrowed sun Into a world already done Names were given, laws were made Before we learned to see the cage They taught us fear They taught us time They taught us how to call the prison mine They built their temples in the mind And called obedience divine But something older moved below A hidden flame we used to know A whisper buried in the blood Sophia [Pre-Chorus] Before their heaven Before their throne Before the rulers claimed their own There was a wisdom There was a sea There was a light Before captivity [Chorus] We walk against the Archons We rise beyond their world We carry fragments of Sophia Like fire beneath the earth Yaldabaoth may name himself The ruler of the sky But every Palumbrista knows The blind god Cannot own the light We remember We awaken We return through gnosis And the prison breaks inside [Verse 2] Sophia moved beyond the line A birth of chaos out of time From mystery came a fractured will A ruler blind And hungry still He looked upon the world he made And never saw the source behind He said I am the only god Because the blind Cannot see what stands above Then came the rulers Then came the chains The architecture of the pain Fear of death Fear of truth Fear of what we really knew But underneath their system breathes A spark they never could retrieve Something they can never own The memory Of home [Pre-Chorus] Their world is loud But truth is still Their power ends Where starts the will The moment consciousness can see The slave remembers He is free [Chorus] We walk against the Archons We rise beyond their world We carry fragments of Sophia Like fire beneath the earth Yaldabaoth may name himself The ruler of the sky But every Palumbrista knows The blind god Cannot own the light We remember We awaken We return through gnosis And the prison breaks inside [Bridge] Not salvation Recognition Not belief Direct vision Not submission Not escape But seeing through The architecture of the cage We descend We rise We cross both trees With open eyes Through shadow Through flame Through every god And every name No ruler stands above the truth No heaven owns the living root No Archon keeps what wakes within The war begins Where sleep has been [Break] Sophia Mother of the broken light Sophia Wisdom hidden in the night Sophia Every fragment calls your name And every soul That wakes through gnosis Feeds the flame [Verse 3] We do not hate the flesh we wear We find the mystery living there Matter is not where wisdom dies The prison lives behind the eyes The body remembers The blood remembers The dream remembers what we are We are not subjects of the rulers We are travelers From beyond their stars Palumbrista Walk the threshold Palumbrista Break the spell Palumbrista Know the heavens Know the darkness just as well [Final Chorus] We walk beyond the Archons Beyond their borrowed sun We gather every shattered spark And bring the fragments back to One Yaldabaoth can guard the gates And crown himself divine But gnosis opens every door No prison owns the mind We remember We awaken We become what they denied We are Mara Palumbra Walking where the worlds divide We are Mara Palumbra Neither blinded Nor controlled Through Sophia Through the darkness We remember Who we are [Outro] They built the world We found the crack They wrote the script We took it back They gave us fear We answered Know They gave us chains We answered No Beyond the Archons Beyond the throne Beyond the god Who thought himself alone Sophia still remembers And through gnosis So do we.
